Headed To Mexico & I Got A Question

[Boobar]

The wife and I are headed to Cancun and I was wondering what the cigar situation is down there. From posts on here and other sites I have gathered that Mexican cigars are not too highly regarded but can you buy others such as Nics, Hons, Dems, & CC's? I am wondering if I am going to need to load up the Otter Box for the trip or just take a few and pick up some while I'm down there. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks :banger

If you must buy cigars look for the official habanos dealer down there :dr

[Smokin Gator]

Take your own. What you find down there will be fake or ridiculously expensive.

Like others have said, Take your own and don't drink the water.:r

[Boobar]

don't drink the water.:r

That I was sure of. :r

[ucla695]

Yup, take your own. Prices are steep. You'll see a lot of glass top box CCs down there that'll you want to stay away from. :) The LCDH might be worth checking out though.

[Boobar]

There is an LCDH in Cancun.

Have a fun time down there.

There is an LCDH in Cancun. If you go there, you will be fine. The sticks will be expensive but worth it. Otherwise, take your own.

Hit the LCdH there in February. Nice place with a cool deck in the back for smoking and drinking. They make the country's best Mojitos, I recommend having one...or four.

The sticks are quite expensive, so I picked something I hadn't seen or tried at that point. Smoked a Ramon Allones Phoenecio and had a relaxing time. I would definitely recommend spending an afternoon there for the experience, but wouldn't necessarily recommend buying more than a single...unless you like Taboadas, they had a nice selection back in Feb.

This is where I went when I went down last year. This is the ONLY place I'd buy CC stogies in Mexico.

Have fun and be safe. :tu

Yup...saw several cigar stores in Cancun, and EVERY CCthey had was fake, excepting the ones at LCdH.

Almosy every souvenir store had glass top boxes...I wanted to bring home a box of Esplendidos, but the prices weren't "fake". :r

You're NOT joking, Tom...the prices were painfully "real". :D:r

Mmmm, Taboadas. :dr:tu:wo

[Tio Gato]

I found that even the TeAmos were more expensive in Mexico than at home.:(
Be sure to take a tour to some Mayan ruins. It's pretty cool.

My Wife and I are going to Playa Del Carmen next Friday. 5th Avenue has five really good cigar stores and two legit places to buy Cubans. Also Walmart is a good source for legit cubans as well.

[Texan in Mexico]

Good evening, still sorry I missed you Admiral.

As the others have said - only one place to buy in Cancun and that is the LCDH. They have a pretty good selection and as was mentioned as well the Tabbys are very good, pricey, but very good!

Let me know the dates and if I am in town we can herf at LCDH one afternoon.

Respectfully,

Travis
